Inside St. Patrick's Cathedral, a stone-built early medieval church with a high ceiling and a central nave. The interior is dimly lit with a few shafts of sunlight piercing through small, high windows. The air is thick with the scent of incense and the murmur of voices.

TNGF
SELECTED
Abbot of Armagh
primary
A tall, gaunt man in his late fifties with a deeply lined face that speaks of both wisdom and weariness. His piercing blue eyes are framed by thick gray eyebrows, and his hands, though aged, are strong and steady. His posture is upright, conveying authority despite his years.
Deacon
primary
A middle-aged man of lean build with sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes that reflect his fervor for reform. His dark brown hair is cropped short in the monastic tonsure style, and his hands are calloused from years of labor and prayer.
Monastic Scribe
secondary
A young man in his early twenties with a slender build, pale skin, and close-cropped brown hair in the monastic tonsure style. His hands are ink-stained from hours of writing, and his light blue eyes dart nervously between his parchment and the speakers.
Warrior Monk
secondary
A battle-hardened monk in his mid-40s with a muscular build, weathered skin, and a shaved head. His face bears several old scars, including a prominent one across his left eyebrow. His hands are calloused from years of wielding both weapons and the plow, and his posture suggests constant readiness.
Dialog
Abbot of Armagh
Brethren, we gather under the shadow of the Northmen's wrath—yet let us not forsake wisdom for fear. The Rule of Saint Patrick must guide us, as it has for centuries.
Deacon
Venerable Abbot, the Rule commands vigilance! Shall we wait until their longships pierce our very sanctuary? The time for half-measures is past!
Abbot of Armagh
Deacon, your zeal honors Christ—but even Saint Columba tempered fire with prudence. Shall we abandon our flocks to fortify these walls?
Deacon
Prudence without strength is but a hollow reed! The Northmen spare neither altar nor infant—must we debate while Armagh burns?
Abbot of Armagh
Silence! This synod shall not echo with the clamor of the world outside. Let us deliberate as men of God—not as frightened hares before the wolf.
